Bashing God for the Misery of Life

[robvalue]

If we can leave the silly concept of "gods" behind for a moment, we could consider more plausible scenarios.

Maybe this is indeed an experiment, but one that doesn't concern us specifically. It could be that a being in another plane of existence has used some sort of computer to run a simulation. It would have no particular reason to suspect that any parts of it have become self-aware.

So I'd say this potential programmer is responsible for our suffering, but I wouldn't think badly of them. It's no different to us running one and the same thing happening.
